Bush shoe thrower in military custody

An Iraqi government official says the journalist who threw his shoes at US President George W. Bush has been handed over to the Iraqi military command in Baghdad.

The official said Muntadhar al-Zeidi has been turned over to the prime minister's security guards to face further investigation by the military agency in charge of enforcing law in Baghdad.

The official spoke on condition of anonymity yesterday because he was not authorized to talk to the news media.
